The San Antonio Zoo and Will Smith Zoo School have taken a significant step toward sustainability with the installation of a 35.38 kW rooftop solar system, designed and installed by Big Sun Solar using Mission Solar Energy panels. This commercial solar project not only supports the school’s energy needs but also aligns with its nature-centered philosophy. The solar array serves as both a functional energy solution and an educational resource for the school’s young learners, fostering an early understanding of renewable energy and environmental stewardship.
Will Smith Zoo School, the largest nature-based preschool in the country, incorporates sustainability into every facet of its design and operation. The San Antonio Zoo transformed an older building into a state-of-the-art learning facility, with the goal of achieving LEED Platinum certification—the pinnacle of sustainable construction standards. Solar energy played a vital role in this transformation, reinforcing the school’s mission to connect children with nature while reducing the environmental impact of the facility.
This collaboration showcases how solar technology can seamlessly integrate into forward-thinking projects. With the expertise of Big Sun Solar and the reliability of Mission Solar Energy panels, this installation sets an example for how a commercial solar project can be both impactful and inspiring. The San Antonio Zoo and Zoo School’s investment in solar energy demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and education, highlighting the positive impact renewable energy can have on communities and future generations.
